breastfeeding question

My son slept for 8 hours last night!!! but will my body know to stop producing so much milk overnight? I was leaking everywhere when i woke up? thanks for the input

It will take a bit to adjust, but from everything I've read and heard, you will adjust.  You just might be pretty leaky for a little while, but after repeated nights like this, it will eventually stop

With my older DD, it took about a week for my body to adjust to dropped sessions. Overnight is a tricky one too because that is when your prolactin levels are the highest.

Your body will adjust and IF your LO would wake up in the middle of the night after your body does adjust, don't worry. You'll still have some milk available

this happened to be one night...I pumped when I woke up and found out my boobs were massive and leaking and I got like 7oz from each side! Totally work it for me to have pumped cause that went straight to my freezer stash!
